TIPS & TECHNIQUES TUESDAY

Today I have three Father’s Day cards that I have made. In Australia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Saturday in September.

I am featuring the Playful Alphabet Dies and Boho Vibes, as well as the Sunrise Sailing Dies.

The first card is a super simple one to make.

I used Night of Navy for the card base to allow the Secret Sea ‘spots’ on the DSP to pop.

The Cloud Cover and DSP panels have been adhered to the card base at angles to create some interest.

The greetings were stamped on pieces of Cloud Cover card and trimmed to fit the card front. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each piece and then positioned on the card.

Then I cut the sailing boat and sails to decorate the card.

Finally I added some Cloud Cover embellishments from the 2025 – 2027 Flat Pearls pack.

The second card is very similar.

The only difference between the first and second card is the addition of a length Faux Linen Ribbon.

The third card uses the ECLIPSE technique.

TIP: Position the alphabet dies on the card and hold in place using a small piece of washi tape.

I used dimensionals to lift the die cut card up from the card base and DSP.

TIP: Position the letter dies over the cut spaces and use this to guide the place you infill the letter.

This card also has a greeting, boat and flat pearls.

Tomorrow I have a ruffled card for you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FRIDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a Book Fold Card to share with you.

I also included a gift card pocket inside the card to make it perfect to send to a friend for a special occasion.

Using Misty Moonlight card and some of the Designer Series Paper, I created this Book Fold Card.

The greeting was stamped onto some Basic White card that was then cut using one of the tags from the Peaceful Earth Dies.

After placing the tag on the card front, I wrapped a length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around the book fold edge.

I attached a bow to the wrapped ribbon before adding some Hues of Blues Flowers embellishments.

I added a strip of the DSP on the card insert.

Then I used the tag die to create an opening, in a pocket, to create an opening to insert a gift card.

The projects I have shared with you this week were so much fun to create – some were made using instructions from the Creativity Now event and the others have been my own.

It has been a great week. I’m not sure what I have in stall for next week but I am hopeful that you will enjoy what you see.

TODAY IS 3D THURSDAY

Today I have two versions of the same 3D gift box to share with you.

The first one is the project that I had instructions to make from the Creativity Now event.

This box was made using a panel of one of the DSP designs, measuring 11″x 4″.

This piece was then scored at 3″, 4″, *’ and 9″. Then along the 4″ side it was scored at 1″ and 3″,

When the 1″ tabs are cut and the score lines burnished, the box can be assembled. The lid folds across and overlaps.

The greeting was stamped and die cut. Then some leaves were stamped on the tag and the glimmer paper leaves were adhered onto the tag as well.

A length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon was wrapped around the box and tied in a bow.

Finally, some of the Hues of Blues Flowers were added to embellish the box lid.

The second version is made from the Peaceful Garden blue Glimmer Paper.

For this version I did not want to use a ribbon finish so I chose a belly band closure in soft green..

Then I die cut three butterflies using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies.

The greeting and die are also from the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.

It is always wonderful to see how different one project can look just by using different papers, greetings and embellishments.

Tomorrow’s final project is a fun fold card.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
